[TONYMOLY] BABY DOLL POT CONCEALER *Light Beige*

A concealer is something I often use when apply make-up, especially when the BB creams coverage alone isn't enough. Usually I get concealer sticks in beige shades but sometimes in green as well (to cover red spots). However, the last concealer I purchased is the [TONYMOLY] BABY DOLL POT CONCEALER which belongs to the same product line as the BABY DOLL BB POWDER.
As always, I got #1 Light Beige! For darker skin tones it's also available as #2 Natural Beige.

Description: Baby Doll Pot Concealer that is natural and perfect coverage, longlasting effect and low-stimulus concealer. It maintains clean makeup condition for a long time, because porous powder absorbs excessive sebum and coated powder particles enhances adhesion.
The concealer comes in a small, round jar with a pearl white twist-off lid. 4g are inside!
On the bottom is just a simple sticker with some informations in korean. No description or ingredients are on it, though.
Underneath the lid is a second white cover to protect the product itself.
The soft scented BABY DOLL POT CONCEALER has a creamy concistency, is easy to spread on my skin and gives a slight matte finish.
Even though, #1 Light Beige is the lightest shade it just fits my pale skin tone when I blend it well.
All in all, the concealer covers up quite good with a matte finish. 
But, I don't find it hygienic that I need to dip my fingers in the pot to get the product out. Of course, I could use a small brush or something but I never do.
How to use: Dot onto blemishes, and then softly spread it with a finger. 
  
Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)       
 
What I love:   
The creamy concealer is easy to spread on my skin and the coverage is quite good!

 
What I don’t like: 
The color fits my pale skin tone only when blended well and I need to dip my fingers in the pot.
 
Will I buy this again? I don't think so! Maybe switch back to concealer sticks again.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Baby Skin Base *Baby Green*

Long long time ago I was reading that green neutralizes reddish skin. From that day on I started to use from time to time those concealer sticks with one green and one beige site.
When I was looking for face primers from Korean brands I found [ETUDE HOUSE]'s Baby Skin Base which is available in two (2) different shades: #1 Baby Green and #2 Baby Apricot.
As you can guess, I got #1 Baby Green
I can't find these products on eBay anymore, so I think it might be discontinued already?! But don't worry, [ETUDE HOUSE] sells some similar bases like the Dream On Base.

Description: Skin Softening & Moisturizing Powder Gel Makeup Base.
Delicate coverage for natural, radiant complexion and tone.
All Day Moisture Rich & Oil Absorbing Base Makeup- Fine, silky powder solution.
Promotes smooth, even complexion- baby skin presentation with reduced pore visibility. 
The Baby Skin Base comes in a milky white translucent bottle made of plastic. You can see the green color through the bootle, plus how much product you got left. The lid and pump is kept in a light pink.
30ml are inside!
The description on the bottle is in korean only, so I can't read the ingredients but the product seems to be free of Ethanol, Paraben and Titanium Dioxide.
The consistency is like a BB Cream, just a bit runnier. The scent is very soft what I like a lot.
The green color makes my face brighter, therefore I can't use too much otherwise my face looks greenish-white. I apply it instead of a face primer and mainly to areas which are reddish like my nose and cheeks.
The Baby Skin Base is a nice product which helps me to reduce the redness on my skin. 
It also might cover some pores but I'm still using a Pore Cover Balm before applying BB Cream/ Compact Powder
Right after applying it gives my skin a matte finish but the oil control isn't very good, though.
How to use: Apply with finger tips or sponge over your face until evenly blended into skin. Then apply makeup foundation/ powder pact.

Price: around 15,- €/ US$19 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)    
 
What I love:  
It reduces the redness!
 
What I don’t like: 
It makes my skin greenish-white when I use too much. Oil control isn't good enough for me as well.
 
Will I buy this again? Nope! Not sure if it's still available, though. Might try out another base!

[SKINFOOD] Banana Concealer Stick *Light Banana*

Since foundations or face powders don't cover all skin blemishes I use a concealer, too. I have to say, that I never tried out one of these liquid concealers like the Rice Concealer from [SKINFOOD] but I want to. A few weeks ago I got the Banana Concealer Stick because I like products with banana, steam milk, chocolate etc.
I decided to get #1 Light Banana which is the brighter shade. It's also available as #2 Natural Banana for people with a darker skin tone.

Description: This soft, matte concealer stick effectively hides skin imperfections, with banana extract rich in moisture and nutrients. 
The Banana Concealer Stick comes in a yellowish metal twist-up container. 1.4g are inside!
#1 Light Banana ist the brighter shade and good for those people with a lighter skin tone like me.
The following informations were found online:
A secret weapon to banish blemishes with high coverage results. Infused with banana extract to provide moisture and nutrients to the skin. Blends virtually with any foundation to help achieve a flawless looking complexion.
The concealer stick has a creamy consistency and gives a matte finish - no glitter or anything. It's easy to blend with my skin and the coverage is okay. The light beige shade fits my natural skin tone well and I love the slight banana scent.
How to use: Apply a small amount onto skin imperfection, pat gently with fingers, and finish with powder.

Price: around 8,50,- €/ US$10.70 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:  
The banana scent and it's easy to blend with my skin tone.

What I don’t like: 
Nothing atm!!

Will I buy this again? Not sure, maybe try the liqiud Rice Concealer first.

[MISSHA] M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM *NO.21 Light Beige*

Whenever I look for new BB Creams or check out eBay sellers feedbacks I see that many people get the M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM from [MISSHA]. Usually I wouldn't buy it because I'm not really satisfied with their products and these mostly give me breakouts. But it seems that the M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM is most popular and so I wanted to try it out as well.
I got No.21 Light Beige and just the small 20ml size.

Description: MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream offers a novel skincare concept with B.B cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties. SPF42 PA+++
The box is dark red and gold/silver and has a reflecting film, so it can work as a mirror, too. The 20ml size comes in a flat tube with a twist-off lid. The tube is burgundy red and silver like the packaging. The 50ml size of this BB Cream got a pump tube.
The M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM contains natural ingredients that don't damage or irritate the skin.
The main ingredients are Rosemary, Camomile, Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide
It conceals any types of pigmentations or discoloration areas on the face including acne, couperose, vitiligo, age spots, sun spots and dark circles.
The consistency is neither too thick nor too watery. It's easy to work with and it covers my smaller impurities/ imperfections quite well. I still need to use a concealer or a compact powder to cover bigger skin blemishes, though.
No.21 Light Beige fits my natural skin tone well but I find that it becomes darker after a while.
This BB Cream is slightly scented and I like the smell. What I don't like is the oil control! I'm not sure if the M PERFECT COVER B.B CRAM got any oil control but my skin starts to get shiny after just 1~2 hours. That's really bad when you have oily skin like me.
In conclusion, I can say that this BB Cream works good but the oil control is bad. I would recommend it rather to people with dry or normal skin. I will avoid to use it at work, parties or whenever I'm outside for more than 3 hours.
I didn't notice breakouts yet and hopefully won't in the future.

Price (20ml): around 8,- €/ US$10 
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 
It covers skin blemishes quite well but not all, though.

What I don’t like: 
It has no oil control. My skin becomes shiny after just a few hours.   

Will I buy this again? Nope, I look for BB Creams with better oil control.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Wannabe Style Making Kit & Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss

[ETUDE HOUSE] recently released their newest Winter Collection, the Wannabe line. Btw, some of the products are Limited Editions. The illustrations feature Sandara Park (2NE1) as the Emma character by Annika Wester from Sweden.
This product line is divided in the following 3 themes:

PLAY

LOVE

POP

I grapped 2 of the products and thinking about getting some more. I got the Style Making Kit and one of the Last Touch Lip Glosses which I will both review now.

Wannabe Style Making Kit:
Description: Multi-makeup palette supplies diverse colors and pearl infused looks for mixing & matching. Create individualized styles without hassle. This palette contains 8 eye shadows. 
2 lip & cheek creams, highlighter crea, 2 eyeliners, 2 concealers, and 4 applicators, so you can easily complete beautiful eye, lip, and cheek, makeup. 
The make-up palette was a spontaneous purchase coz I own already two big eyeshadow palettes which I seldom use. I bought it because it's a Limited Edition and I missed the 'Aloha - Tropical Eyes' palette already!
This palette comes in a nice packaging which looks pink on the front and black on the back. The complete collection comes with those cute illustrations. When you fold off the packaging in the front and you will get another illustration in dark pink. To get the palette out of the packaging you have to open the side, though.
The Style Making Kit is in a matt black plastic case with the same cute prints again.
The case has the size 11,5x6cm what is not very big. So you can carry it in your bag as well.
This palette consists of 2 levels and a mirror inside the lid.
At the first (upper) level you have 2 lip & cheek creams and 8 eyeshadows:
Cream Lip & Cheek: Orange-Red
Cream Lip & Cheek: Pink
Pearl Eyeshadow: Light Pink
Pearl Eyeshadow: Violet
Pearl Eyeshadow: Gold-Brown
Pearl Eyeshadow: Silver-White
Satin Eyeshadow: Grey-Brown
Satin Eyeshadow: Brown
Satin Eyeshadow: Grey
Satin Eyeshadow: Pink
On the 2nd level you get 1 highlighter, 2 concealer, 2 eyeliner and 4 sponge/ brush applicator.

From left to right:
Cream Liner (Black, Brown)
Melty Concealer (Violet, Beige)
Cream Highlighter (Pearl Gold)
Cream Lip & Cheek (Orange-Red, Pink) 

Price: around 23,- €/ US$30 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The design and the eyeshadows.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like on this product. 

Will I buy this again? No! One time is enough I guess.

Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss & Freshener:
Description: Dual Gloss & Freshener supply sparkling color and romantic fragrance for enticing lips.

The Lip Gloss is available in 3 colors: Wanna Touch (Cream Beige), Wanna Love (Baby Pink) and Wanna Kiss (Coral). I decided this time to get the gloss in #2 Baby Pink.
The packaging is kept in white and pink colors with the same cute illustration as the 'Style Making Kit'. The Lip Gloss contains 5g and the Freshener 6ml. It's a 2-in-1 product!
The Lip Gloss #2 Wanna Love comes in a translucent bottle with some rose & bird prints on it. The color is a shimmering pink which doesn't have a strong coverage. I can barely see the color on my lips but it's shimmering. I like it coz it gives my lips that Nude-Look. 
The consistency is not sticky, too.
Like the 'Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper' this one here has a silicone tip/ applicator which is easy to use. The scent of it is ok - not too fruity or chemical-like.

On the other side you have the Freshener which comes in a translucent bottle as well. It has some butterfly prints on it and got a metal rollerball applicator. The product itself looks pinkish and the fragrance is called 'Floral Musk'. It smells kinda strong at the beginning but after a while it gets better. It's a nice floral scent!

How to use: Roll-on to back of neck, temples, wrists, chest or any other desired area.
DO NOT APPLY FRESHENER TO YOUR LIPS!!!

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:  
The color and the idea of making a 2-in-1 product. 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like even though I wished the freshener would be rather a mouth freshener than a perfume. 

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting #1 Wanna Kiss (Coral).
